Can anyone help? My 2001 GT started making a vibrating metallic noise when driving with slow acceleration around 2000 rpm. Disappears when I hit the gas. Brought it to Ford, they hear it but can't diagnose it. Only while the car is moving. The noise is preventing me from really enjoying my car. Please help!

Drive shaft u joints. When you hit the gas it puts more tension/pressure on them causing the noise to go away.

That would be my best guess without more info.

Have you made any changes to the car recently?

Dustin this sounds like what I had and nobody figured it out. Check your fuel line as it runs next to the drive shaft, all along in there, there is a plastic clip that it pops out of and it sounds terrible. Good luck
